US , EU Warns Malaysia Of National Security Risks In Huawei 5G Bid
for the 5G rollout that they say could allow the Chinese communications giant, Huawei, to become a major player in the country’s telecommunications infrastructure. According to Reuters, the warnings were first issued in April, after we reviewed a decision to award the Swedish telecommunications giant, Ericsson, a US$11 billion tender that would allow it to build a state-owned 5G network.
The US and EU’s animosity towards Huawei comes as no surprise and despite the political relationship the three entities share, the Chinese brand is nevertheless still considered a frontrunner in Malaysia’s bidding war to obtain the lucrative tender to our country’s 5G infrastructure.
“Senior officials in Washington agree with my view that upending the existing model would undermine the competitiveness of new industries, stall 5G growth in Malaysia, and harm Malaysia’s business-friendly image internationally.”Security risks and Huawei notwithstanding, it’s no secret that the current state of our country’s 5G rollout has been less than smooth sailing.
